what people don't know is if someone does this and someone else has already bidded on said item, the bidder lost their gold because after the auction is canceled it doesn't return any bids made towards that item.
happened to a friend of mine, he bidded 500k on a item and a few minutes later the poster of the item canceled the auction with this method and my friend wasn't refunded his 500k while the poster of the item then re-listed it for a higher min bid.
+1 for posting this so blizzard can see it
-1 to those who use this method and screw over people who want to bid on items and turn out to lose gold for nothing.
Been using this method a couple of days, laughed out loud when I saw this working the first time.
They might as well just remove the lock-out, so retarded haha.
They are removing it. Probably partly for this reason.
I think they had an idea that they ran with, but then realised it was more trouble than it was worth. And yeah, this exploit surfaced. So they're removing the lockout thing entirely, easiest and best.
